Default Your favourite period of Game Of Thrones?

Season 8 of Game Of Thrones will be debuting in a couple of months time, and as it will be soon coming to it's end I wanted to ask you this question.

Some spoilers are ahead for people that have not caught up yet.

Which period of Game Of Thrones was your favourite period of the show out of seasons 1-4 or seasons 5-7? I'm asking it like this as seasons 1-4 followed a loose path of George R.R Martin's storylines from the books, whilst 5-7 had to start slowly paving their own path due to catching up with the book material for the most part.

For me I'm a fan of the first 4 seasons as you can tell that it was an adaptation of a book series, it has more structure and the characters are better written and just generally used better imo in the first 4 seasons I feel. Where as 5-7 has had the odd superb episode imo, in fact some of the standout episodes may individually be better than any of the episodes of the first 4 seasons, however there are things that I think the TV Writers have ****ed up imo, the Jon and Daenarys relationship is just morally disgusting in my view and I'm not normally the moral police but to have two of your main heroes in a relationship like that is just vile (an overused word I know) and the fact that she cares about Jon Snow more than one of her Dragons getting killed after only knowing him for a few weeks is just baffling writing, it exposes the TV Writers and the show at not being very strong at starting up a predominant protagonist relationship imo. Cersei's writing has gone off the boil imo (although tbf a lot of book fans say the same thing about her going downhill in the books) so it might be harsh to attack the show for this one, but her writing in the last three seasons went completely cartoonishly evil imo when in the first 4 seasons there were more layers to Cersei's character, thankfully the actress still does a good enough job to make Cersei still come off as an iconic character for the programme. And the later on seasons do seem to just be obsessed with Jon Snow, he gets most of the big episodes nowadays and most of the screentime in most of the episodes when the show is suppose to be an ensemble, the only other characters that still get much to do that's any good nowadays away from Jon Snow imo goes to Arya and Sansa which thank god as I don't necessarily watch Game Of Thrones for Jon Snow.

Oh and the Books and the Show definitely want to take responsibility for The Sparrow storyline.

Anyway rant over about my opinion, I do wanna be reading yours.

Poll will be coming shortly.
